The main long-term complication of the otherwise very successful total hip replacement surgery is osteolysis and resulting implant loosening that necessitate technically demanding revision operations. This aseptic loosening is primary caused by biomaterial wear particles released from the implant bearing surfaces because of abrasion. These wear particles are in the peri-implant interface tissues phagocytosed by macrophages which are induced to produce inflammatory mediators that cause the local micro-environment to support osteoclast formation and function ultimately leading to implant loosening. The exact mechanisms of this wear-particle-induced macrophage activation have remained elusive. The first aim of the current thesis was to evalu...
